Coca Cola Advertisement Analysis As I read the Coca-Cola ad‚ the first thing I notice is the word “America” because of its very large size and very appealing font.

“Advertisement Analysis” Milk is refreshing‚ muscle building‚ and nutritious. “Got milk?” uses this advertisement to get this point across. It consists of Taylor Swift‚ whose portrait is in the center of the ad‚ flirtingly leaning on her dark red guitar lined with a light tan rim.
